Moving swiftly to move the nation towards a renewable energy future is critical for protecting our planet for future generations and tackling climate change. And federal clean energy incentives, tax credits and rebates are crucial for growing renewable energy in Pennsylvania! 

From houses of worship and local governments to residents and in-state manufacturers: the federal clean energy incentives and rebates are helping move us towards a cleaner, cheaper, new energy future.

Explore these innovative projects across Pennsylvania, then read below for more information on how you can make the most of federal clean energy funding and help defend these tax incentives and rebates from being rolled back.

To show just how much Pennsylvania has benefited from federal clean energy funding, we teamed up with Evergreen Action to make a map of projects all across the state that have tapped into this funding.

These federal tax credits are a critical way to help protect our planet by helping residents, businesses, non-profits and local governments go solar, purchase electric vehicles, and do more energy conservation and efficiency projects. Right now, you can join the momentum of renewable energy here in Pennsylvania!
